Rockies' Mike Moustakas: Three hits in Monday's win
Moustakas went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Monday's 6-0 win over the Guardians.
It's the first multi-hit performance of the season for Moustakas, as he got the start at third base and hit sixth for the Rockies. With Elehuris Montero back down in Triple-A, there are at-bats available at the hot corner and at DH, but Moustakas hasn't done a lot to earn them so far by batting .243 with one homer, seven RBI and eight runs in 16 games.

Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Getting day off Monday
Arenado is not in the Cardinals' lineup Monday in San Francisco, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Arenado is in the middle of a 5-for-32 slide at the plate, so he'll get a day off to regroup. Brendan Donovan will be at third base, with Tommy Edman covering second base and Paul DeJong playing shortstop.

Jace Peterson SS | ARI
Athletics' Jace Peterson: Sitting against lefty

Gio Urshela 3B | MIN
Angels' Gio Urshela: Takes seat Monday
Urshela is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Tyler Nevin 3B | ATH
Tigers' Tyler Nevin: Back on bench versus righty
Nevin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.
Nevin had started in three of the Tigers' past four games -- all against right-handed pitchers -- but he'll head back to the bench for Monday's series opener. With Javier Baez moving past a minor finger injury and Zach McKinstry swinging a hot bat of late to at least temporarily earn himself more reps against right-handers, Nevin may have to settle for a short-side platoon role in the Detroit infield.

Oswald Peraza 2B | LAA
Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Heads to bench Monday
Peraza is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.
Peraza will take a seat after going 2-for-12 with a pair of walks, two RBI, two runs and a stolen base while starting each of the past four games. Though he's on the bench for Monday's series opener in Minnesota, Peraza could have a path to fairly regular playing time until the Yankees get one of their three banged-up everyday players -- Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring), Josh Donaldson (hamstring) and Harrison Bader (oblique) back from the 10-day injured list.
